New Gaza Ceasefire Lasts Through the Night

A new 72-hour truce between Israel and Hamas lasted into Monday as negotiators for the two sides returned to talks mediated by Egyptians in Cairo.

The ceasefire began at 5 p.m. Eastern (midnight in the region), and Reuters reported Monday that Israeli negotiators would head back to Cairo after leaving on Friday when a previous three-day truce ended without a longer pact.

A single rocket was launched from Gaza into the Tel Aviv area shortly before the new ceasefire began, the Israeli military said.
